Coming up this week

The Big Do is now behind us   – it was a great success, everyone seemed to have had a good time, the sun shone brightly (‘though some of us might have preferred the thermostat had been set a touch lower!), and it was great to see so many more activities there –  and we raised over £1,000 a year for the hall, too.  Thanks to everyone who helped make it go so well, including, of course, everyone who joined us on the day.  Check out the over 140 photos on the Warleggan website.

Four oak tree saplings now sit proudly in the new graveyard and parking area next to St Bartholomew Church, planted on Monday in memory of the four from the parish who were lost in the First World War – see photos. 

So what’s coming up?  Well, the next few days we will have…

Friday 8 August:
~ Village Greens, 9am-2pm at the hall, come for your fresh produce, jams and other goodies, a friendly cup of tea or coffee, or why not try a cooked breakfast or a tasty mushroom soup for lunch ~ latest update
~ Sankey Evening, Mount Chapel, 7pm ~ info

Saturday 9 August:
~ Duck Race & BBQ, Pantersbridge (the bridge between Mount and St Neot). Launch of ducks at 4pm. Enjoy a stroll from the bridge to the weir to finish with a BBQ. Children can run, cycle or skate. Limited parking at the weir.  Ducks available to purchase for 50p on the day, or contact Nina on 821293 ~  info

Sunday 10 August:

Next week in Warleggan

We’ve got a lot on this coming week at the Warleggan Jubilee Hall in Mount:

Survey deadline ~ Friday

Firstly, the ‘What do you want?’ survey:  A big thanks to all of you who have already filled it in; it’s really appreciated. If you haven’t yet done so, the good news is that the deadline is extended by a week.  It’ll only take a minute or two to fill, and will help us know which activities and clubs there may be a good amount of interest in. So do please have your say, even if it’s simply to say you aren’t interested!

The survey is open to everyone living in or near the parish, as well as all hall users and visitors from neighbouring parishes.  See here for more information, and to download the form.

The deadline is now Friday 28 March: so, if you didn’t yet get round to handing in your completed survey form, do it now and hand it to a hall committee member, or you can drop it off in the box in the hall when you come to any of the following upcoming events over the coming seven days…

Coming up next week:

  • Tuesday 25 March:
    • Pilates –  starts at 12 noon, newcomers welcome – phone Gill 01208 821494 if you’re thinking of coming – more info
  • January 2014: relaxing after lunch
    Lunch Club ~ Wednesday

    Wednesday 26 March:

    • Lunch Club, 12.30pm – a special treat this time, fish pie followed by tiramisu – still just £4 a head, for the two courses with tea/coffee to follow; a vegetarian option (cheese and courgettes) is also available. All are welcome, young or old, but you MUST reserve your place in advance, latest by Sunday 23rd – call Gill 01208 821494 to book, or for more info.  Note the change of date –  yes, it’s on Wednesday this time  – see our lunch club page
    • History Club, 7.30pm – AGM, followed by a talk from Lynda – entitled, intriguingly, “Stop the Rot”.  All welcome.
  • Lessons in Love ~ Friday 28 March

    Friday 28 March:

    • Village Greens, 9am – 2pm –  as always, a great chance to meet up over a cup of something, or there’s cooked breakfasts and soups, and of course lots of local and organic produce to take home – more info
    • “Lessons in Love”, 7.30pm – this promises to be a fun, entertaining evening out, as two characters, Carmen and Mimi,  look to evening classes to find love – an engaging comedy brought to us by the Cube Essential Theatre of Truro, it’s a Carn to Cove production, and well worth attending –  for tickets and information, call Liz L. on 01208 821551  – see our Carn to Cove Events page.

  • Come and join us at the Jubilee Hall for the ceilidh on New Year’s Eve (Tuesday 31st December) –  should be  a great evening for the whole family, as we welcome back the ever popular musicians Choughed to Bits, who not only play brilliantly, but also guide us through the steps ~ you may remember them from the Jubilee Ceilidh in June 2012?   There’ll be soft drinks and a licenced bar, and everyone is asked to bring a plate of food to share, so that we can keep going until the new year begins at midnight. All ages welcome.  Starts 8pm. Adults £5;   Children £3 ;  under 4 free  – contact Jasmina 821223 or Gill 821494
  • The History Club is then organising this year’s New Year Walk which will take place on Thursday 2nd January.

A close call with carbon monoxide

Some of our Mount residents (Liz Parr and family) had a close call with carbon monoxide poisoning in their house from their wood-burning stove. Their dog and hamster died, but the family came out OK.  To cut a long story short, a fire engine came to assess the CO levels, and found them dangerously high – and they’ve offered to be present at the hall when Village Greens is next open, to help raise awareness on this issue.  So  – come along to Village Greens this Friday – not only for teas and fresh produce, but a necessary wake-up call.  Have you got a carbon monoxide detector?  and are the batteries OK?

The fire brigade will be at Village Greens this Friday (9 November) from 10 til 12 –  they’ll bring plenty of info, leaflets etc., and you are welcome to discuss your concerns

Some words of wisdom from Liz’s Facebook page:
 
well it goes like this…..we had the dog and a hamster die within 2 days… some would say unlucky, well that’s what we though until we discovered the truth………
co poisoning………. we have been very lucky. we were told by the fire crew that came out to us and then by the doctors at the hospital that we have had a lucky escape.. the doctors told us that 1 maybe 2 nights more with our fire lite would have been all it took…..
we have a wood burner as our form of heating and in our ignorance and I suspect many others you can get c o poisoning from these as well.
our flue needs replacing as it was leaking the co gasses in high levels.. enough to kill….
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE look around your homes… have you got co detectors because I bet you have smoke detectors.. go to your nearest hardware store and get one. go now. I am… it can and will SAVE YOUR LIFE……
if you are worried about or think you may have co in your home call the fire brigade and they will come and test for you….
